Have A Plan

Font Size:

• When local officials call for an evacuation, get out without delay: Don’t wait – evacuate!
• Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance: how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different situations.
• Make sure you and your family members have the name and phone number of a friend or relative outside your city or state -- so anyone who becomes separated from the group can telephone to let others know their situation.
• Be sure every member of your family knows the phone number and has a cell phone, coins or a prepaid phone card to call the emergency contact.
• Discuss your evacuation plans with your family, friends and relatives, and remind everyone of the plan as the storm moves in.
• Make a checklist of what you need to do and review it before you leave.
• If you plan to stay in a hotel or motel, make reservations and confirm your reservations before you leave.
• Learn evacuation routes from your area. Some traffic congestion is inevitable so expect delays and longer drive-times than usual.
• Learn the places to stay between your home and your destination – in case you have to stop before you reach your goal.
• Make plans for what you are going to do with pets and livestock.
